Ready for football by the pond

Just after Christmas, the perimeter fence went up; obviously a ball game but which - all is now clear. Today, Sunday 7 January, work continued in the preparation of a proper five-a-side football pitch for Jeziorki. Located on ul. Kórnicka. With Astro-Turf playing surface. Looks good!

Work is nearly ready - just the gate to finish and some final touches and it will be ready for a new season. This looks like a standard Orlik pitch, 40m by 20m with 3m high fence, created within a programme intended to provide more footballing amenities to the nation's youth. What is the Polish for "Please mister, can we have our ball back?"

This pitch is built on the site of an old one, which was hardly ever used (other as a meeting place for young folk to drink beer of a summer night). Goats would be seen grazing here.

"Build it, and they will come," Field of Dreams style?
